Summary: This place is immaculate! It was amazing! If we ever return to the area, we will definitely going to stay here! The host is amazing. He is very helpful in everything. The beach is about a five minute drive away. The property itself has everything you could imagine. There is also common area used by the community that is available as well. It is also beautiful. There are many live animals on the property such as monkeys. We got the pleasure to see them. Also there is an amazing coffee machine that's available in the morning! Towels that we provided were wonderful. The bids are extremely comfortable. This was the perfect place for my friends and family.
